BACKGROUND
WAX INHIBITORS TO REDUCE WAX DEPOSITION FROM OIL
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the priority benefit of Chinese Patent Application Serial No. 201710240505.9 filed April 13, 2017.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to modified alpha-olefin maleic anhydride copolymers useful as wax inhibitors in oils, their use for reducing wax deposition from oils, and methods for their manufacture.
[0003] In production of most wax-containing oils such as crude oils, a major problem occurs when the oil temperature is below the solidification temperature of the wax in the oil, because the wax solidifies and tends to precipitate out and deposit on the piping and other equipment contacted by the oil. Build-up of wax deposits can impact oil production throughput due to reduced effective pipe diameter, also associate with accelerated corrosion. Moreover, wax deposition may cause the oil to lose its ability to flow, and thus cause difficulties in transporting the oil through lines and pumps.
[0004] Comb polymers are widely used as wax inhibitors and pour point depressants in oil production and transportation to reduce wax deposit amount and/or improve crude flowability at temperatures below wax appearance temperature.
[0005] Deepwater offshore oil production is growing fast due to the limitation and aging of onshore oil fields. Additives used in the deepwater oil production need to be stable at low temperature (for example, at about 4 C) and high pressure (for example, higher than 10,000 psi) to make sure they will not block the umbilical pipe.
There are a few deepwater wax inhibitors that are designed with good low temperature and high pressure stability by sacrificing parts of the wax inhibiting performance. However, these wax inhibitors have narrower crude envelop, and thus they can only treat limited crudes containing low carbon number (Cn) wax.
There is no effective wax inhibitors with good low temperature stability as well as wider crude envelop, for example, which are applicable for deepwater crudes containing higher Cn wax.

[0014] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a wax inhibitor composition that is used as an additive in oil production and transportation for reducing wax deposition and providing oils with improved low temperature flow properties. Further, embodiments of the present invention also relate to an oil composition including an oil and an effective amount of the aforementioned wax inhibitor additive and/or additive concentrate, and a method of improving low temperature flow properties of oils by adding an effective amount of the aforementioned wax inhibitor additive and/or additive concentrate into the oil.
[0015] The wax inhibitor composition includes at least one modified alpha-olefin maleic anhydride (AOMA) copolymer as described hereinafter. It is found in the present disclosure that, as for the modified AOMA copolymer used as a wax inhibitor, the hydrocarbyl side chain (from the olefin for synthesizing the copolymer) is more critical to low temperature stability whereas the ester side chain (from the alcohols for synthesizing the copolymer) is more critical to wax inhibiting performance. A modified AOMA copolymer that includes a relatively short hydrocarbyl side chain and a relatively long ester side chain can achieve a balance of both good wax inhibiting performance and low temperature stability. For example, a modified AOMA copolymer that includes a hydrocarbyl side chain containing 6-12 carbon atoms and an ester side chain having an average carbon atom number in a range from 20 to 32 carbon atoms have both good wax inhibiting performance and low temperature stability, and is particularly applicable in deepwater oil production and transportation, as a wax inhibitor.
[0016] In some embodiments, a wax inhibitor composition of the present invention includes at least one modified AOMA copolymer of the formula:
Fr' 0 6 o (I) wherein Ri is selected from hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups containing 12-60 carbon atoms and an average carbon atom number of the Ri, if not hydrogen, in the modified AOMA copolymer is in a range from 20 to 32, R2 is selected from hydrocarbyl groups containing 6-12 carbon atoms, and n is the number of repeating units ranging from 1 to 100.
Fr' 0 6 o (I) wherein Ri is selected from hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups containing 12-60 carbon atoms and an average carbon atom number of the Ri, if not hydrogen, in the modified AOMA copolymer is in a range from 20 to 32, R2 is selected from hydrocarbyl groups containing 6-12 carbon atoms, and n is the number of repeating units ranging from 1 to 100.
[0017] Specifically, Ri in the formula (I) may be hydrogen or an ester side chain containing 12-60 carbon atoms, depending on whether the esterification occurs at the carboxy group. "Ri"s at different carboxy groups of the modified AOMA
copolymer may be the same or different. Similarly, R2 in the formula (I) may be a hydrocarbyl side chain containing 6-12 carbon atoms, and "R2"s in different repeating units of the formula (I) may be the same or different, depending on how many kinds of alpha-olefins are used in synthesis of the modified AOMA copolymer.
copolymer may be the same or different. Similarly, R2 in the formula (I) may be a hydrocarbyl side chain containing 6-12 carbon atoms, and "R2"s in different repeating units of the formula (I) may be the same or different, depending on how many kinds of alpha-olefins are used in synthesis of the modified AOMA copolymer.
[0018] As used herein the term "hydrocarbyl" refers to any combination of straight-chain, branched-chain, or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl groups, or the respective group substituted with one or more substituents, including, but not limited to, groups such as alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, cycloalkyl groups and any combination thereof
[0019] In some embodiments, R1 is a C12-C60 saturated or unsaturated substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group. In some embodiments, R2 is a C6-C12 saturated or unsaturated substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group. In some embodiments, n is an integer of from 1 to 50. In some specific embodiments, n is an integer of from 5 to 30.
[0020] In some embodiments, the modified AOMA copolymer is a copolymer of an alpha-olefin with a relatively short alkyl chain and maleic anhydride modified with relatively long alkyl chain alcohols, which is generally prepared by reacting an alpha-olefin with maleic anhydride in the presence of a free radical initiator such as, for example, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (other free radical initiators useful in the context of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art) in order to form a high molecular weight copolymer, and then reacting the high molecular weight copolymer with an alcohol mixture in order to form the compound of formula (I).
[0021] In some embodiments, the alpha-olefin is a C8-C14 alpha-olefin, such as 1-octene , 1-decene, 1-dodecene, or 1-tetradecene. In some specific embodiments, the alpha-olefin is 1-dodecene.
[0022] In some embodiments, the alcohol mixture refers to a C12-C60 alcohol blend with an average number of carbon atoms in a range from 20 to 32. Each of alcohols in the alcohol mixture contains 12-60 carbon atoms, while the alcohols in the alcohol mixture are proportioned to make the alcohol mixture have an average number of carbon atoms in the range from 20 to 32. In some specific embodiments, more than 30% by weight of alcohols in the alcohol mixture are C22+ alcohols that contain at least 22 carbon atoms.
[0023] In some embodiments, the alcohol mixture includes at least one C60 alcohol blend. In some embodiments, the alcohol mixture includes at least two C12-C60 alcohol blends. In some embodiments, the alcohol mixture includes at least one C12-C60 alcohol blend and at least one bulky alcohol. Examples of suitable C60 alcohol blends include but are not limited to NAFOL20+, NAFOL24+, NAF0L2428, Unilin 350 and Unilin 425, compositions of which will be described hereinafter in Examples. In some embodiments, the alcohol mixture may include NAFOL20+, NAFOL24+ and optionally at least one bulky alcohol. In some embodiments, the alcohol mixture may include NAFOL20+ and NAF0L2428. In some embodiments, the alcohol mixture may include Unilin 350. In some embodiments, the alcohol mixture may include Unilin 425 and at least one bulky alcohol. As used herein, the term "bulky alcohol" refers to an alcohol that is sterically more bulky than the other alcohol(s) in the alcohol mixture. Examples of bulky alcohols include a guerbet alcohols (such as 2-decy1-1-tetradecanol), benzyl alcohols, ley' alcohols, tertiary alcohols, t-butyl alcohol, adamantanol, trimethylsilanol, and derivatives thereof
[0024] The high molecular weight copolymer may be made by any of the methods known in the art, e.g., by solution polymerization with free radical initiation.
For example, in some embodiments, the modified AOMA copolymer is synthesized from alternating free radical copolymerization of 1-dodecene and maleic anhydride, then modified with a selected alcohol mixture to make alkyl side chains on the polymer backbone through ester group.
For example, in some embodiments, the modified AOMA copolymer is synthesized from alternating free radical copolymerization of 1-dodecene and maleic anhydride, then modified with a selected alcohol mixture to make alkyl side chains on the polymer backbone through ester group.
[0025] In some embodiments, about 1 to 5 moles of alpha-olefin are employed for each mole of maleic anhydride employed in the synthesis. In some embodiments, about 0 to 2 moles or preferably about 1 to 2 moles of mixed alcohols are employed for each mole of maleic anhydride employed in the synthesis. For example, 0.5 moles of a first alcohol mixture and 0.5 moles of a second alcohol mixture may be employed for each mole of maleic anhydride in order to get the copolymer of formula (I).
[0026] The modified AOMA copolymers as described herein have good wax inhibiting performance and low temperature stability and can be used as wax inhibitors and pour point depressants in oil production and transportation.
With the balanced performance and low temperature stability, the copolymers are particularly applicable as wax inhibitors for deepwater crude oil, for example, deepwater crude oil hainvg a wax content of 0.1% to 100%, or preferably 1% to 50% by weight, measured by high temperature gas chromatography.

[0033] In the following Examples 1-11, 11 different esterified olefin-maleic anhydride copolymers were prepared from different olefins and/or alcohols by a process as described hereinafter, respectively.
[0034] In Example 1, Maleic Anhydride (64.9 g), 1-dodecene (122.7 g), and Aromatic 150 (a solvent purchased from Exxon Mobile, 80 g) were added to a reactor and stirred by an agitator. The reactor headspace was inerted by vacuumizing the reactor headspace and back-charging the vacuumized headspace with nitrogen.
The reactor was heated to about 150 C. During the heating process, a Dicumyl Peroxide solution was prepared by dissolving Dicumyl Peroxide (5.4 g) in Aromatic 150 (9.3 g) and the Dicumyl Peroxide solution was inerted by nitrogen. When the reactor temperature reached 150 C, the Dicumyl Peroxide solution was added into the reactor continuously over a period of 3.5 hours, and the reactor temperature was then held at 150 C for additional 2.5 hours. After the total 6 hours of reaction, a mixture of NAFOL20+ (129.2 g), NAFOL24+ (152.4 g), ISOFOL24 (23.5 g), and Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid (12.6 g) at about 80 C was added into the reactor in one portion. Then the reactor temperature was held at 150 C for another 12 hours with a dean-stark equipped on the reactor to collect water generated from the esterification. The resulting product was labeled EXP-1 for test and evaluation as described hereinafter.
